Financial
assistance to enable the rescue of girls from FGM (female genital
mutilation)
and those being forced into early marriage, to pay for their education,
to
cover
the cost
of
their rehabilitation (and sometimes the cost of cattle to rescue
girls who would otherwise have been sold into marriage). It also
goes towards Feminenza’s expenses in providing special
assistance in the form of mentoring and development. The centres
we currently
support are Tasaru
Girls' Rescue Centre, Narok, the Kisi Rescue Centre
in Western Kenya, and the Womankind project in Garissa. The girls
(upon completion of their education) contribute to the fund,
to make it self-sustaining. A new website is currently under development
to promote this project. View our Go
Card (.pdf) and help us
make a difference.

In order to further

Provide
a Voice project - this is being
developed with the aim of helping small communities, and NGOs such
as UNILAC,
Tasaru Girls Rescue Centre etc, to present the essence of
their work and heritage on the World Wide Web. The aim of this
is to
offer the public information and education and to secure
help. A new website is currently under development
to promote this project and a link will be provided here once it
is live.
